Fair maiden at up to 10.5f on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Joined a stable which has tasted plenty of juvenile hurdle success over the years. Respected.

14/1

Modest form at up to 1m on the Flat for Sir Michael Stoute. New connections acquired him for 11,000 gns in July. The betting should help guide to expectations on hurdle debut.

4/11

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) for Jim Bolger. Ran to a fair level when third on Market Rasen hurdle debut on Saturday. Leading claims turned out again quickly.

Form: 3

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi

125/1

Smooth Daddy gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner abroad Xeiku. Dam 1m-1½m winner. Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby

200/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Pulled up on Cartmel hurdle debut in August. Outsider.

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Gilligan⁽³⁾| T: C Collins

16/1

Fair winner on the Flat and translated that ability to hurdles when fourth at Killarney in July. Not in anything like the same form when down the field there in August. Sports first-time blinkers now.

Form: 40

Trafalgar Square^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

6/1

Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in juvenile at Market Rasen in June. Disappointing at Cartmel next time, though, and also well held on the Flat at Haydock last month.

Form: 25

Forecasts

Model Approach (4/11), Trafalgar Square (6/1), Fine Point (9/1), Maple (14/1), There's No Limit (16/1), Popa Rich (125/1), Rubio De Oro (200/1)

MODEL APPROACH showed enough at Market Rasen on Saturday to think he can win a race like this if coping with the quick turnaround. Nigel Hawke saddled the runner-up in that Market Rasen race and his new recruit Fine Point may give the selection most to do ahead of Irish raider There's No Limit.
